From reading the books my opinion is that they get better than the one this season was built on. Still really enjoying it though

I'm glad Holden figure out how to not squint the whole time.



Eh? I thought it followed Cibola Burn pretty well
Hmmm, perhaps I should re-read/re-watch. Could be my memory is failing me. It will also be interesting to see if anyone in the cast goes on to equally good roles in other genres. Now that production has come to a Covid-19 halt, actors are waiting to get back to work, and we are equally ready to see it. A steady diet of reruns only gets stale quickly.

While I won't say I don't take allegations like this seriously, I will say that I just don't care all that much what an actor does or thinks in his/her personal life.

Further being able to act and/or play a guitar well does not qualify you as my my role-model or hero .... so I don't have unrealistic expectations.

Finally after the damage done to Kevin Spacey in particular based on what turned out to be nonsense (put politely) I think it might be a good idea to find out what actually happened before jumping to judgement not just "believe" by default.


EDIT: Of course House of Cards being cancelled turned out not to matter since we've ended up with the "IRL" version!

House of Cards wasn't canceled. It had a conclusion, albeit a bad one.

Like Games of Thrones bad.

There's something of an explosion of this kind of thing I feel like. I came across a 25m lawsuit against twitch from a guy who says that some of the women on the platform are too, womeny<lol?>.. that's my take and my word on it. Y'all can look up the suit, if you want. It honestly comes off as a revenge version of what some men may percieve as women doing to men. I don't know.

Also, there's a series of accusations against Swifty (youtube figure for world of warcraft) whereby Blizzard has removed an in-game NPC of Swifty before he's even had a chance to defend himself. Some are calling it out as Twitter being judge, jury, executioner. Some are asking what happened to "innocent until proven guilty". Many are coming to his defense.

I don't know what happened here with Anvar, exactly. I've glanced some of the twitter posts linked from the reddit post despite not being a fan of twitter.

I just hope everything is handled as fairly as possible. Fairly for the women and what they say has happened, fairly in the context of having a chance to defend himself, and fairly for the fans who love the show.

It looks bad, though. Anyone glanced through all the material on that reddit post?

Yet another men behaving badly. What would women do without men? Die. There. There is myself behaving badly. I say Letterman him and let's move on with the show.

I tried to watch this a couple of times when it first came out. Just couldn't get past some of the quirks...Miller and his stupid fucking hat, belter pidgin, Shohreh Aghdashloo's poor acting...she always sounds like...she's...reading...her...lines...badly....little things. Never could even get through episode 2...but I decided to ignore that and just watch it recently on Prime.
Yes, those things are still irritants...but minor ones. Overall, it's not bad...I'm just about to finish season 3. There are still a few...plot holes that haven't really been explained, but that's not uncommon with novels being made into TV shows, especially ones that deal with such.......complex issues.
I'd give it 4.3/5.

Don’t really agree about Shohreh’s acting, however I am interested in what plot holes you noticed.

Just seems like too many things that happen without explanation...or were glossed over as the show progressed. We might have been told...in passing...that they were happening...or had happened, but no details. Like I said, not uncommon in shows like this, and, for me, not enough to take away from the overall show.
As for Shohreh's acting...it was the same thing in her performance as Madani's mom in The Punisher.

Early on that is the nature of it. The second half of season one starts something that finishes up in the first half of season two and repeats. Only the last season, 4, seemed independent for the most part.

Just finished Babylon's Ashes so I'm looking forward to this! Without watching the trailer yet I assume this season will cover Nemesis games / Babylon's Ashes?

Started S4 last night. Again, things have happened that weren't explained in previous episodes, but because they kind of make sense, just accept them and keep watching.

Yeah, finally noticed. Didn't see any add on prime recently indicating it was back. Just stumbled on it.
Only watched 2 so far.
